I love his crossed legs, so cute.
It's been hectic in work of late so I'm quite busy.
Jimmy complained yesterday that he wasn't getting the attention he felt was rightfully his.
I told him I'd finish this one task and then sort him out with food.
Shortly afterwards, I was struck on the leg by a thrown cat toy.
I turned to see a large fluffy tail disappear round the doorway.
Jimmy denies all involvement.
Another pic, always like to be touching things

Touching things to make sure they're his/hers
Possibly a niche question- but do any of you have experience with kittens with broken bones and needing to be on conservative care/rest and have advice for him to safely spend some of his kitten energy?
I rescued a poor little lad who was found starving and with a broken leg- he’s roughly 14 weeks. I have experience with ortho cats previously so I’ve taken him on to give him the pampered life he deserves. What I didn’t think about was that caring for an adult cat who needs confinement is very very different to kitten energy. So far I have lick mats, toys he can play with while sitting, a larger enclosure now he needs to get a bit of movement in and a harness so he can sit with me and watch TV so he’s not lonely. Is there anything else I could do to keep him happy and entertained?

Aww poor baby 
Leo is now 4 months old so I get the kitten energy - To be fair he sleeps most afternoons and early evenings, the mornings and late evening are a bit, shall we say, challenging....
Can you position your little one so he has a view out the window? Can't really think of anything else but hopefully he has a quick recovery.
ETA, Leo loves to pull tissues from a square tissue box and rip them to shreds - that might be a suitable convalescing activity? It doesn't cost much and he doesn't eat them, just rips them up

Kittens are quite something! Cleo used to be a mare in the early mornings and I would sit half asleep playing with her until she was tired. As soon as she was asleep I ran back to bedAww poor baby

She also loved tissues, she liked toilet roll with some paper on it and she would pull the paper off it.
I would recommend if possible interactive toys, my girl just sometimes like watching them go round. It puts her to sleep
you can get water mats that babies use they can sit on and tap the water. Wee houses to sit on or in. The range have lots of scratching toys, you can get a pirate ship which looks cool and they can relax on that. I had a mat thing that doubled up as wee tunnels so when he's better he can crawl underneath it.Thank you both 
there’s some really good ideas. I’m looking forward to when he can be crate free- I have a lot of cat toys (I do have an older boy, and recently lost my girl- so it’s cat tree, scratch post, toys and tunnels galore throughout the house). I’m going to have a rejig of his pen and put in some interactive toys and scratch boards to make it new and exciting. At the moment it’s just an awful balancing act of feeling like a mean bouncer stopping all of the fun but also trying to make sure he can have some fun.

Loki who is virtually toothless, brought in a mouse last night. Deposited neatly on our rug. Merry decided to go and have look! Luckily neither of them have little instinct so hubby was able to scoop it up and release it safely into the field next door, one lucky mouse.
pleased to report my mini patient is recovering really well- almost limp free and has around a week before he can have full time freedom.
I was really worried about socialisation with my older cat - he’s very laid back, not keen on fighting games and there’s not been much opportunity for him to instil some cat manners. But they’ve had a pretty good weekend with less pouncing and some interactive play together. Hopefully they’ll be best buds in the future, I think he’s missed having a fellow cat friend.

Sorry to interrupt thread with non-celebrity stuff again, but this beautiful girl was thrown out by her owners a couple of weeks ago due to her being elderly and having a large tumour on the back of her neck. Thankfully, kind neighbours alerted the relevant people, and this super friendly, very affectionate girl will now spend the rest of her life with me. Vet visit tomorrow morning, and I'll take it from there.
Nobody knew her name, no microchip, no response over the last 2 weeks from the people who put her out at her time of need, the guys.
I've called her Penny Lane after one of my favourite Beatles songs.
She's stunning and super loving, has big blue eyes and an apricot tint to her fur. It's apparent that she's deaf, so I'm being very careful not to startle her, the absolute toots.

Here's one of my husband's cat, Thor, at 11 months old. He's a good boy. Mostly.

Beautiful kitty
He's Susan's half brother, they have the same dad. Doesn't stop her giving him a good smack though.
She's settled very quickly, not at all timid, very chatty, and now snuggled up on my lap. I just love her xThank you for taking her in, how is she doing
I love this thread; such a joy to read about all of your fabulous cats and to see their pictures.
